Pacific Rim

Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots!

Details on Pacific Rim 2 are still few and far between, but this first look at Tales from the Drift, the ongoing comic Guillermo del Toro announced last summer, is helping fill the kaiju-sized hole in my heart.

Drift Compatible.

Whether she's slaying as Mako Mori in Pacific Rim or breaking hearts in the new drama Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (look for our review tomorrow!), Rinko Kikuchi is someone you want to see more of--and if her Star Wars dreams come true, that just might be the case.

On February 2nd, Atari: Game Over, which documents the quest to find Atari E.T. cartridges that were buried in the New Mexico desert over 30 years ago, will be available on VOD. Our review will be up tomorrow, but in the meantime we had the chance to talk with director Zak Penn about the project, as well as some other irons he has in the fire. If you've ever thought of going into screenwriting, he has some really great tips for you all.

THIS IS FOR REAL, MAKO

Okay, so Pacific Rim 2 won't be out until April 2017. And so we haven't seen anything about the animated series or comic book in a while. But that's all okay, Jaeger buddies, because the Pacific Rim Facebook page has just released their first promotional image for the film, three years out! [UPDATE: Just kidding, it's a fan account. But we can still be excited!]

See you in the drift.

If you've always wanted to pilot your own Jaeger (and let's face it, who hasn't), have hope; for the first time ever, a study has proven that two people can transfer thoughts between their brains without the help of talking, writing, or any sort of invasive technology. I think I would like to name my Jaeger "Feminist Killjoy."
